Not everybody looks on the outside, how they feel on the inside, and the inevitable effects of aging can have an effect on a person’s self-esteem. Both men and women can be affected by aging, with wrinkles, lines, loose skin and brown spots being some of the most common features seen on an aging face. Some people choose to reverse these effects with facelift surgery, in order to improve the elasticity of the skin on the face, to remove or reduce lines and wrinkles.

A facelift, also known as rhytidectomy, can be carried out by a number of techniques, including a traditional face lift, which involves incision along the hairline, down the ears and into the hairline behind the ears, minimal-access cranial suspension, where the incisions are smaller, and keyhole surgery, where an endoscope allows the surgeon to see exactly what muscles need to be tightened and how much fat needs to be removed through a series of very small incisions. Any incisions will be expertly hidden by our plastic surgeons.

On top of aging, a facelift may be needed when the skin is affected by other various lifestyle factors such as sun exposure, smoking or significant weight loss. Our Turkey facelift facilities in Istanbul are all A+ rated and JCI accredited, meaning you will receive the very best healthcare in the country throughout your procedure.

What is a Face lift Surgery?

Medically known as rhytidectomy, face lift is a surgical procedure performed to improve signs of ageing on the face and neck. The signs may involve mid face sagging, creases below lower eyelids, creases along the nose, loss of muscle tone in the lower face, loose skin and excess fatty deposit under the chin. Face lift can be performed together with brow lift and eyelid surgeries. In some cases facelift may include forehead lift and neck lift as well. In this case, the surgery is called extended facelift. For some patients, mini face lift can be suggested instead of full face lift.

If you feel that the face you see in the mirror everyday does not truly reflect how you feel inside and if you think your mind and body deserves rejuvenation, you may be an ideal candidate for facelift surgery.

How Face lift is Performed

Patients are applied either intravenous sedation or general anaesthesia. The plastic surgeon will discuss the best option for facelift surgery suitable for the patient. Face lift surgery can take three to ten hours depending on what will be performed during the surgery. Patients usually stay for one night at the hospital. Scars are hidden in the scalp on the temple area, in front of and behind the ear area. If fats below the chin area are removed, there will be a scar below the chin about 3-5 mm. In cases where eyelid and forehead lift surgeries are performed, there will be tiny marks on eyelids and scalp. However, these marks cannot be seen since they are not obvious and are usually hidden by the plastic surgeon.

Results of Face lift

Following the surgery, patients may experience some bruising and swelling around the face area and they may be asked to keep their head elevated for a couple of days in order to subside swelling. Patient’s stitches are removed five days later.

Full recovery is normally between two to three weeks; however patients should be on their feet the day after the surgery. It is important not to carry out vigorous activities for the first five days after surgery. Most of the people who undergo facelift treatment can return to work and resume most normal activities after three weeks and begin exercise after six weeks. Most facelifts are expected to maintain optimum appearance for up to ten years depending on surgery, patient and after care.

Limitations of Face lift

It is important to take into account the whole face while planning a facelift surgery. The objective is to maintain or achieve facial harmony. Facelift procedure usually tightens the skin of the lower half of the face (lower face lift) only. In this case, the upper half of the face (the forehead and eyes) may appear older compared to the rejuvenated lower face. The plastic surgeons may recommend injections of collagen or botulinum toxin injections for deep creases on patient’s forehead or frown lines between eyebrows. Facial plastic surgery typically improves but does not eliminate the wrinkles and lines on patient’s face. The surgeon may recommend chemical or laser resurfacing to help soften the laugh lines and wrinkles between patient’s nose and the corners of the mouth.

Risks of Face lift

Noteworthy complications of face lift are very rare. The surgeons discuss potential risks with the patients prior to surgery.

Possible complications that may occur due to rhytidectomy surgery include hematoma, infection, and reactions to anaesthesia. Face lift cuts are usually concealed very successfully; however, this is not always predictable due patient’s differences in healing. It is vital for patients to follow the surgeon’s instructions before and after the surgery in order to reduce the potential risks of facelift surgery.

Contraindications of Face lift

Patients taking aspirin and vitamin E should discontinue using them two weeks prior to surgery. Patients using traditional non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) should discontinue using them seven days prior to surgery.
